VISIONARY OF THE YEAR

Visionary of the Year is philanthropic competition to support blood cancer research among a group of motivated and dedicated individuals in communities across the United States. Candidates form powerful fundraising teams and compete in honor of two local children who are blood cancer survivors.

The visionary who has raised the most funds during the ten-week campaign is awarded the prestigious title of Visionary of the Year in their community. The visionary who has raised the most across the entire US will be recognized as the national visionary of the year.

Congratulations to all 2023 Visionary of the Year candidates and team members. We are still currently accepting nominations for 2023 candidates. For additional information please contact Phyllis Lovelace, Campaign Development Manager, at phyllis.lovelace@lls.org.
